On June 17th, Mercury is about to do a very rare thing. It is going to line up with six planets all in the same four day period.

First off, Mercury will be in Cancer, which means that the entire tone of our communications with others is not going to be that rational. This is a very emotional and intuitive sign and we may find ourselves doing things just because we have the feeling we should. The good news is that even if our choices do not seem that rational, they are usually correct when Mercury is in Cancer. Mercury enters Cancer on the 16th of June.

Mercury in Cancer then trines Neptune in Cancer until June 21st. This is a very emotional configuration that means falling in love. The emotions that two people could feel for each other during this time could be incredibly intense; the commitment to each other that is confessed could be passionate and full of tears. It also bodes great sex. However, mostly this configuration is going to affect the water signs such as Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. The relationships that these water signs experience could somehow have a very romantic fated quality. The two people could feel that they have met in another life.

Mercury in Cancer sextiles Jupiter in Taurus, which is great news for this sign. Many will experience a big cash windfall as the result of a divorce or selling a house. An insurance cash-in or bonus is also possible. This influence benefits all earth signs who may find themselves falling in love or setting a date to be married.

Also, Mercury in Cancer trine Chiron in Pisces is a beautiful planetary configuration that means being able to forgive and forget. All signs will benefit from this gentle and loving influence, but as Chiron is in Pisces, the healing effect of these apologies will be most felt by water signs..

Mercury square Uranus is not so positive. Uranus, the planet of technology and getting things done is challenged by the communication Mercury when it is square. This means that misunderstandings are likely when it comes to deploying or using technology. For air signs such as Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, this can mean that important projects could be accidentally put off.

Finally, Mercury in Cancer opposition Pluto in Capricorn can mean opposition from a family to a couple in love or it can mean an inability for two people to communicate. Pluto in Capricorn demands a satisfactory explanation from the world, but Mercury in Cancer is too insecure and emotional to provide it.

A similar influence is to be found in Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Libra. This means upheavals and temper tantrums. There is a passive aggressive quality in this that has one person provoking the other and the other never getting a reaction. This seems to be an influence that is mostly going to be affecting air signs like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius; these signs will have a harder time getting a straight answer out of people then usual.

Here is a look at how each of the signs might be affected by all of this between the 17th and the 21st.

Aries

Expect lots of drama to occur in your workplace or even somewhere official between the 17th and the 21st when Mercury makes a square to Uranus in your sign. This can mean that it could be hard to persuade people that you are telling the truth. Hard work and saying the least possible is the way to get through this week unscathed.

Taurus

Pluto in your fellow earth sign of Capricorn could cause a real cash shortage that limits your freedom or plans this week. Someone in your personal life, probably a spouse, may be trying to get your attention by making you jealous; a full schedule at work will prevent you from engaging in childish games.

Mercury, your ruling sign, sextiles the wealth planet Jupiter this week. This brings you fantastic news about money. Watch out for gossip and those trying to ruin your credibility or reputation. Do not leap into a personal drama that has nothing to do with you.

Cancer

Your sign is the hardest hit by what can only be described as one big soap opera that lasts from the 17th to the 21s. You can expect to fall in love and then in essence somehow reap some kind of karma from it. This could come in the form of retribution from a partner or an ex.

Leo

You or a loved one might have a tendency to bicker this week as two planets in Pisces make you both more reactive or emotional than usual. Mars in your fellow sign of Aries on June 20th could be a good day for World War III; resolve to turn angry energy into energy that can be used to do something productive.

Virgo

Mercury faces off against Pluto this week, causing you to regret spending too much money on luxuries this week. Itís time to tighten your belt. Beware of getting tangled up in some kind of bureaucratic snarl with a big corporation or government; this is not a good week for you to deal with these sorts of institutions.

Mercury squares Saturn in your sign, which means you might be subjected to some kind of bureaucratic mistake that turns your life upside down this week. This is not the greatest week for you to buy a house or sign contracts of any kind as you are vulnerable to mistakes and trickery.

Scorpio

The days between the 17th and the 21st promise to be filled with all kinds of psycho-sexual drama and intrigue. Watch out for an explosive confrontation with a jealous or jilted lover on June 10th. Do not make it all about your personal life this week, as a promising career opportunity could also appear this week.

Sagittarius

The planets Jupiter and Mercury are conspiring you to bring you a once in a lifetime opportunity to make great progress in your career. However, it could involve long-distance travel. Do not let a chronically needy individual from your past make you feel guilty about a recent emotionally healthy decision.

Mercury in Cancer squares Pluto in your sign, which creates a conflict with a spouse or a relative about money. There will be many discussions about trust and boundaries this week and do not be surprised if the fireworks start flying if you decide to stand up for yourself.

Aquarius

Mercury sextiles the wealth planet Jupiter, which serves to bring you a fantastic opportunity to strike out on your own and make money doing what you love. Ignore a jealous type who might be trying to rain on your parade and proceed confidently forward to fulfill your dreams.

Pisces

You are in for quite a ride from the 17th to the 21st as Mercury in your fellow water sign of Cancer causes you to go on a roller coast of emotions. The good news is that Mercury conspires with the wealth planet Jupiter to bring you a big financial windfall or bonus of some kind.
